Quick question... I897 with KB1 + voodoo lagfix kernel. Just did my first nandroid backup and it completed... however, it flashed some errors about accessing apps on external sdcard. This was from CWM RED (v2.5.1.3). I do have some of my larger apps stored on external SD (and all work just as fast as if they were on internal sd). Was I supposed to move these back to internal SD before doing nandroid? Does a nandroid backup just backup the internal sd? Thx gang.
Typically nandroid through CWM creates the image from shall we say the local or main portion of you devices memory.
Suggestion - If you are space deprived on the internal SD, copy the APKs to you desktop (for the image backup) and delete them from your device for now. They can always be copied back to your int SD or ext Sd. This won't remove, delete or uninstall the application itself, but rather enhance space.
Another suggestion is to create an initial backup prior to the CWM nandroid backup with Titanium Backup first, then copy and store that backup, with all your apps) safely on a PC.
Hope this helps...
Peace-

When you backup via nandroid (on Amon), what do you select?
I just left it on defaults but haven't had to do a restore yet so wondering.
From memory I think the following options are UNticked by default
- recovery - I assume this is Amon_RA itself, and I would never need this unless I totally screw it and have to manually push the nandroid backup from adb including the recovery image?
- sd ext - I assume its just the rest of the SD card = doesn't matter?
- .androidsecure - I assume its apps2sd, since I use titanium for that = doesn't matter?
Any experts advice appreciated, cheers
1. You don't need to check 'recovery'.
2. If you're using any custom ROM that can move your installed applications to Ext partition, it should be checked for backup. Otherwise, you may have problem when restoring it.
3. .android_secure is where the application goes when you move it to SD card. I recommend it to be checked if you moved any one to SD card, to reduce the chance to be screwed when you restore your backup.
Thanks I'll try again
i have installed AOKP build 37 and have many apps and dont want to loose any of the app!!!
dont have much space so cant even backup...
wanna install built 40 will i loose everything???
you are taking a risk without backup.
But, from 37 to 40 there is no need to wipe and no loss of data.
But then again, your risk.
If you have SD card, just use Titanium backup.
Make a folder in SD card,
and in Titanium Backup, go to Settings, Backup folder location.
choose the new folder.
Then do full backup of system+user app and data.
when done, at least you have a good titanium backup.
I can't remember if CWM has advanced backup to external sd card
(and you must remember that in AOKP, the CWM recovery mixed the external with internal, but once you browse it you should know which is which).
Can anyone tell me what, if anything, I should do about this error which appears after restoring a Nandroid backup? The phone seems to be working ok so far. I've done Nandroid backup and restore several times without errors before but obviously something has changed.
Error while restoring /sdcard/.android_secure!
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
I cannot see any file called "recovery log" in the /sdcard/clockworkmod folder. There is a file called "recovery-update.zip".
I tried uninstalling/re-installing ROM Manager and then making and restoring a new nandroid backup but the result was the same. The backups are to the internal sd card.
I'd be grateful for any advice. I tried trawling around the forums for some hours as this seems to be a widely discussed issue but cannot find any clear explaination of the cause or fix.

do you use an external sd?
check if there is a clockworkmod folder in that.
Yes, there is a Clockworkmod folder on my ext/sd card. I wanted to do Nandroid backups there but the option to Use External Storage is greyed out on the settings page.
Right now, the only Nandroid backup I have in on the int/sd card

which settings page ?
in CWM you need to go to backup & restore and choose backup (this will backup to external SD).. there is another option to select backup to internal SD
I'm using ROM Manager (Premium) and under the settings there's an option to use external sd card but it's greyed out.

Use CWM directly to make backups to your desired storage
Can you tell me where to get CWM? I can only see ROM Manager on the Google Play site. I understand that RM is really just a front end for CWM but I'd have assumed the functinality would be the same.
Thanks again for the reply
if you are having hydracore the cwm will be already there. It's a recovery. you need to boot into recovery mode.

I flashed AOKP and made a Nandroid right before flashing, I lost files which were on my internal SD card from a factory wipe, where and how would I find them without restoring the Nandroid?
Umh, did you wipe your SD?
If yes, you can't restore your file, nandroid don't contain SD file, but only rom file and apps...
I made a twrp backup and was able to drag and drop it to my PC for later use. Now the big question is...where do I move this backup to? I've simply moved it back into the backups folder located in my twrp folder in my internal storage. If I go to restore, I can see the backup folder along with another backup I named Stock. Will this work if I just restore the backup from here? It seems too simple. I have read about pushing the file using adb to internal storage and then installing it as a zip file. Problem is the backup is not a zip file. Any help will do. Thanks.
